Crunch is in an elite group of world heavyweight crocodiles – A true giant of the animal kingdom. It appears that there is much exaggeration when the length and weights of crocodiles are discussed. Crunch was accurately measured by us at 5metres (16.4 feet) in length and 500kg (1102lbs) in weight. He is approximately 65 years of age.

A crocodile of this size has tremendously powerful jaws. Crunch’s jaws exert as much as 3700lbs. of force per square inch – hence the name “Crunch”! A human’s bite pressure has been recorded at 120lbs per square inch. Crocodile tooth pressures of up to 350,000lbs per square inch have been recorded in other heavyweight crocodiles. the measurement for bite force is taken at the rear of the jaws.
